Midwest represent!

Midwest represent!

The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) isn't nearly as established as the Comic-Cons and Penny Arcade Expos of the world, but with an estimated 40,000 attendees this weekend (in its third year), the Midwest fest is growing in scale and attention. Games are still just a small part of the overall allure, but that didn't stop cosplayers from portraying video game heroes this weekend, along with other entertainment icons. Here's a look at some of the eye-catching cosplay we spotted on the C2E2 show floor.
